Since we are on the topic of Gloss-Coat. I've used it on other vehicles before but hadn't put it on the Focus until now. Looks OK I think...
Now that's one glossy relfection! I'm sold.

Little before and after of some paint rejuvenation I did this afternoon. I painted the rear of the car and where I blended it was not so smooth. A little wetsanding and polishing later, I will no longer cry for having to stare at it every time I pump gas..

I forgot to grab a before of the trunk lid, but it was way worse than the rear door.
All with my new Chemical Guys arsenal!

About 2 days ago, I washed, clayed and sealed my focus! It was a great experience since I have never before clayed and applied a sealant.
Took me about 4-5 hours
The sad thing is that I dont have a garage, my car is outside 24/7 in public parking spots, I found a shade on the back of a big building near my house, morning hours, and began the procedure.
What I did.. washed then directly without drying I clayed it, then went back and washed it again, dried it and applied 1 coat of POWERLOCK. It was super easy to apply and to take of, since Im an amateur.
I dont know if I did a good job or not, I did not have much time..wanted to apply a 2nd coat but the sun was catching me up.
